Oil infusion deep dive!

about the project

Learners engaged in the process of preparing an oil infusion -- from harvesting and preparing garden herbs to dry, to intentionally connecting with aromatic herbs in the garden (calendula, lavender, and rosemary), and their different medicinal properties. The workshop involved using our senses to connect with each plant, support their nervous system, and help them connect and nourish their bodies. They also learned how to use a mortar and pestle to gently crush herbs so they can release their scent and healing properties into the avocado oil. Participants learned about the practice of setting intention, reciprocity, and consent when interacting with plant relatives, and took home dropper bottles with their oils.
